HDX RichGraphics High performance 2D and 3D graphics
Adaptive Orchestration with Graphics 1. Foundational approach: Server-side rendering Bitmaps 2. Optimization: Client-side rendering Graphics commands GDI, GDI+, DX
Windows 7 Aero Redirection to Rich Clients Local Like Full Aero experience Glass, Flip 3D, Aero Peek Crystal clear and highly responsive XenDesktop (VDI)
Demo: Windows 7 Aero Experience
Windows 7 Aero Redirection WDDM driver architecture Leverages client side GPU DirectX 9, Pixel Shader v2 Rich clients (PCs and fast thin/zero clients) 2 GHz dual core processor, Aero-capable IGP/GPU Win XP/XPe, Vista, Win7/WES 7, WinTPC
Windows 7 Aero Redirection LAN and high speed WAN/Internet XenServer, vsphere/esx Experimental: HyperV (further testing planned) 32-bit color support Single or dual monitor support Automatic fallback to Win7 basic
Adaptive Display Evolution of Progressive Display Smoothens user interactive operations on WAN 2D and lightweight 3D graphics Zero configuration Self adaptive to the network Enabled by default XenDesktop (VDI)
Demo Silverlight Graphics (Server rendered with Adaptive Display)
HDX 3D Pro Use cases: High-end 3D Graphics GoToMyXenDesktop New features: XenServer support (multiple GPUs per host) Multi-monitor support Animated cursors GPU codec support on NVIDIA Fermi cards XenDesktop (VDI)
HDX MediaStream Flash Windows Media Silverlight QuickTime HTML 5
Adaptive Orchestration with Media 1. Foundational approach: Server-side rendering Bitmaps & audio 2. Optimization: Client-side rendering Native media streams
Server-Rendered Media (Video & Audio) Video frame detection Adaptive display of video frames Dynamic adjustment of image quality and frame rate Self-adjusting to changing network conditions Zero configuration Crystal clear audio even under heavy server load or on challenging networks XenDesktop (VDI)
QuickTime Server Rendered Media Demo
Flash Redirection Gen 2 IE7 and IE8 support in Tech Preview Many more access scenarios! WAN-connected users Linux devices XenDesktop & XenApp
Demo: Flash Redirection for WANs
Getting to Flash Content 1. Client side fetching 2. Server side fetching 3. Server side rendering ICA HTTP caching
URL and Flash Instance Level Control CLIENT - Flash redirection is enabled SERVER Server-side rendering is used BLOCK - Flash is completely blocked URL Whitelist CLIENT: http://*.youtube.com URL Blacklist SERVER: http://*.hulu.com
Windows Media Redirection improved WAN support Prioritization of Audio More responsive player controls Frame dropping when video bit rate exceeds available bandwidth XenDesktop & XenApp
HDX RealTime Supporting Unified Communications - Voice and Video for real time collaboration
Voice-over-IP Enhancements Reduced latency Higher audio quality Improved Echo Cancellation Adaptive Jitter Buffer UDP support for HDX audio Network congestion or lossy networks Full QoS support
Demo Improved audio delivery

HDX WAN Optimization with Branch Repeater More flexible QoS support More priority levels Zero configuration QoS for all traffic Multiple TCP streams over single port (1494) Application discovery and classification Rate control and protection capabilities Improved cross-session compression for printing XenDesktop VDI & XenApp
HDX Monitor 2.0
HDX Monitor 2.0 U/I is now separated from data collection SDK model with configuration rules engine All data is surfaced via WMI Desktop director uses SDK to assist help desk staff to troubleshoot HDX issues More HDX technologies covered Much more information for each technology class XenDesktop & XenApp
Demo: HDX Monitor - Version 2.0
Project Zoom Faster App Launch
Project Zoom Three distinct improvements to app launch experience Session Pre-launch When user logs on via WI, PNAgent, or Dazzle, session can be launched automatically Subsequent app launches are nearly instantaneous! Session Linger When last published app exits, session does not logoff immediately Fast reconnect Session arbitration logic during reconnect is much faster XenApp
Demo: Faster App Launch
The best user experience in desktop virtualization gets even better! Best performance on challenging network connections Best scalability with multimedia and graphics workloads Self-adapting for easier management and optimal user experience
